Physical means and methods for inducing regenerative effects on living tissues and fluids

Abstract

The present invention discloses a system for the administration of a plasma modified field (PMF) to a subject comprising: (a) a non thermal plasma (NTP) emitting source for emitting a plasma beam; (b) a plasma modified field coupling mechanism (PMFCM) comprising a plasma beam dish having at least one opening for the passage of said plasma beam; said plasma beam dish having a first surface and a second opposite surface; and (c) a controller for controlling said PMFCM. In a main aspect of the invention, said first surface of said plasma beam dish is mounted with: (i) at least one coupling element selected from the group consisting of: (1) at least one ferroelectric element for providing said field; (2) at least one ferromagnetic element for providing said field; (3) at least one piezoelectric element for providing said field; and (4) at least one piezomagnetic element for providing said field; and (ii) at least one reflecting element. In a further main aspect, the PMFCM and said controller are configured to adjust any of said at least one coupling and reflecting element in a predetermined manner thereby providing said PMF for inducing a therapeutic or regenerative or beneficial effect on said subject. The present invention further discloses methods and use of the aforementioned system.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The invention relates the field of non thermal plasma technology and application. The invention also relates to means and methods for inducing therapeutic or regenerative or beneficial effects on living tissues and fluid and gas media.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]Thermal plasmas and lasers have been widely used in medicine to cut tissues through heating. The effects of such thermal plasmas on tissues are non-selective and difficult to control because they occur primarily through transfer of intense heat. In contrast, non-thermal plasma does not produce heat, thus its effects are more selective. Although electrical discharges that generate non-thermal plasma have been known for a long time, their clinical potential has been largely ignored and until recently, applications have been confined to sterilization of inert surfaces or modulation of cell attachment. The exploitation of cold plasma for clinical applications requires the mechanistic understandin...
